5:30am workout at Crossfit Lee's Summit
Skill: Muscle ups
I am getting better at muscle ups. We used bands to work on the transition. I had several continuous (7-8) smooth transitions.

(3:00 AMRAP-2:00 Rest) X 3 for total reps
3:00 Amrap:
1 Thruster/1 Box Jump
2 Thrusters/2 Box Jumps
3 Thrusters/3 Box Jumps

As far up the ladder as possible in 3 minutes...rest 2 minutes and repeat a total of 3 times.  At the start of each 3 minute work session begin back at 1/1. Score WOD as total reps completed

Results
95 lbs thruster.
Round 1 - 6 rounds + 7 thrusters
Round 2 - 6 rounds + 1 thruster

My quads are still super sore. I have not fully recovered from last wednesday and thursday. Zercher squats yesterday continued the soreness. And...box squats tomorrow. At least, I tend to be more sore in my hamstrings/glutes after box squats than my quads.

5:30am workout at Crossfit Lee's Summit
Skill: Mobility Work and Easy Warm UP

WOD:
“Chelsea”
Every minute on the minute for 30 minutes
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-Ups
15 Squats

Results
For the first 4 rounds, I wore a 40 lbs vest. For the next 6 rounds, I wore a 20 lbs vest.
I completed the remaining 19 rounds without a vest. I had knees on ground for pushups. The pull-ups were relatively easy. The squats were not bad, more of an active recovery. The push-ups are by far the hardest part of this workout.

I feel confident I could complete this workout RX (knees not on ground) without a vest. My legs are smoked. I was feeling box squats from yesterday. 450 squats today probably tore them down some more.

5 Jumps onto Tire
20 Hammer Swings

Results
Did not time. Used 90 lbs on top of prowler, medium tire, heavy sledge hammer.

My lower calves were not sore at all this morning nor through the day yesterday. I thought for sure that based on the sensation I felt yesterday in my lower calves that there would be some significant soreness. But there was not. I stretched with roller today to help make sure I limit the tightness.

Results
6 rounds + 200m run. I carried sandbag, 40 lbs stone, 45 lbs plate, 20 lbs wall ball, sandbag, sledge hammer
135 lbs for barbell movements.

The 200m run with objects took a toll on my lower calves...the same area I had problems with in college. I should have stretched on a roller but did not. I am curious to see how they fare tomorrow.

31 inch box, 88 lbs KB, 135 lbs push jerk

I believe I am improving my push jerk form. Burpee box jumps are brutally tiring. I struggled on some of the muscle ups but only failed once or twice. This was the most muscle ups I have done in one period.

5:30am workout at Crossfit Lee's Summit
Strength:
Deadlift 1 RM
225, 315, 365
390 lbs. This is a new PR up 5 lbs from 385. Unfortunately my form was "horrible" and during the lift, Chandra told me to "drop it" because I had too much arch in my back and was struggling. I had never heard her say such a thing and so it did not register in my head. I finished the lift. I got the weight up, but I don't think I am too proud of that lift.

WOD:
3 Rounds for time
20 Squat Cleans (95/55)*
15 Wall Balls
10 Ring Dips

Results
11:01 with 95 lbs squat clean, 20 lbs wall ball.
